Grady,s Great Hit.
THE YOUNG GEORGIAN AS HE APPEARED AMONG THE
SONS OF PILGRIMS.

Grady,s Great Hit.
SONS OF PILGRIMS.
From the New York Sun.
Editor Henry w. Grady, OF the Atlanta Constit1-
ton, who delivered the famous speech on s'The
New South" at the dinner Of the New England
society on wednesday night, and which made him
q national reputation, has piercing black eyes
raven hair, charm1ngly frank manner and q Pc
culiarly graceful bearing as an orator. When he
arose to deliver his speech he looked upon the
faces OF over 800 strangers He was the first
SOutherner TO speak at a dinner OF the society
since the war, and before him were men whose
names are synonyms OF legal acumen, culture and
wealth. All watched him intently. Gen. sherman
and DR.. Talmage had preceded him with speeches
highly eulog1stic or the North, and they, toO
closely scanned the earneSt-lOOking and dig
nifled SOutherner as, In well-mOduated tones
he began his speech. He hadn't said six lines be-
fore the aSSembage broke out In storm Of cheers
When Mr. Grady spoke OF Abraham Lincoln as one
shout went up and when he said ''Dear to me are
the home Of my childhood and the traditions Of
my people" the applause OF the New Englanders
brought happy smile to his face and an added
brightness to his eyes. From that moment Mr..
Grady appeared at home. His perOratiOn was
interest OF his audience and in closing, when he
asked the New Englanders II the north would per-
init the prejudice OF war to remain in the hearts
OF the cOnquerOS when it had died In the hearts Of
the conquered, the three hundred threats thun-
dered a ''NO!' that must have been heard block
away. When he sat down cloud OF napkins as
cended over the heads of the diners they cheered
him, the band whoOped up ''Way Down in Dixie, +"
and every one said that Mr.. Grady was a thump-
ing fine fellow.

Gen. Loxan,s Illinois Property.

Chicago dispatch says: Seen Logan's rela-
tives in the southern part OF the state are some
what irritated because of the talk OF Mrs. Logans
poverty. The general leaves over ST. 900 worth Of
unincumbered property in Carbonate, consisting
Of SO acres within the corporate limits, and worth
800 an acre at forced sale; $50 acres adjoining
the limits and worth $40 to $4o an acre, and a
dwelling house In West street, near the Normal
university, valued at 81 800. He also leaves over
200 acres near Murphy sDorough, worth over $50 an
acre. ID acres worth 500 an acre, and 30 town lots
worth 500 each. The jackson county property Is
worth at least $4,000, altogether without incum-
brance. They may say my brother died poof,
said Tom Logan, but that means comparatively
poor, but not absolutely poor. He was poor for q
man holding his rank and position. His place at
Washington is incumbered but there isn't a cent
against our property around here The reports
that Grand Army posts are raising subscriptions
to pay of an alleged mortgage on the generals Old
homestead is said to be an especial irritation to
the relatives at Carbonate. Less than four months
ago the general was negotiating for the purchase
or the Baird and Robert farms, both OF which join
his own property at CarbOndale'

approved OF all theatrical plays and performances

bined in 1t with carnal and worldly displays and
that they warned the members OF their Churches
not to frequent the opera tn any place. or any

worldly, carnal, sensual and criminal There was
an earnest debate On the resolutions which were

AN EVENT IN WHICH ASTRONOMERS ARE INTERESTED
The year 1887 has in store for astronomers
total eclipse of the sun, which can be observed
from convenient stations in Europe This eclipse
occurs on the 10th Of August land the line OF total
ity passes through Berlin, and little to the north
Of Moscow. The event will give astronomers an
excellent opportunity to pursue their studies Of
the suns surroundings.
The Rochester Democrat says: Our government
ought to make immediate preparations to send a
large and wen equipped party to observe this
eclipse Observation OF the total eclipse this year
was neglected by Our astronomers, because a COM
mtttee OF the National Academy OF Science re-
ported to Congress that the time was too short to
prepare the instruments. tits to be hoped that
the matter OF the eclipse in August will be laid be-
fore Congress IN time for suitable preparation.
Congress has always shown Willingness to pro-
vide ample means for observation OF total eclipses
and other great astronomical events. But Con-
gress has often been tardy that lack OF adequate
preparation has greatly interfered with successful
observation. American astronomers may well de-
vote their attention to two subjects: The deter
mination OF the character and extent OF the suns
vaporous surroundings, and the search for intra-
Mercurial planets. This search should not be
given over, for the nOn-existence OF such planets
has not Deen demonstrated and there are excellent
reasons for believing that their existence may yet
be completely established.

KIED COUPLE AT ATLANTA, GA.
Especial from Atlanta, Ga, to the New York
World says: There has arrived in Atlanta perhaps
the youngest couple ever married. The husband
Is only II years old, and his wife is two years
younger. They came to Atlanta few days since
In this city. He stated that his name was Sandy
LockmOre, and that his wife, before she was mar
ried, was named Jennie Register. They have been
married over three years. When the nuptials
1883, he was only IA and she was 12. They were
engaged two years before the knot was fastened
legally. When asked what induced them to take
50 serious step at so early an age, the young
'Well, we were left orphans without any rela-
tiveS or friends for our parents were Shtpwrecked
and we found ourselves on the Shetland Islands,
unknown and alone; Fortunately had been in
trusted with the keeping or q package by my
father and managed to hold on to it through all

course, being so well supplied with cash, did not
lack friends. Jennie and fell into the hands Of
an excellent old English couple, who provided for

pei from New York state who spared
no pains to train us. After two years
we resolved to get married. At first the
idea was hOOted at by every member OF
the family in which we were staying, but finally
we got the consent OF all OF them and were duly
married. Shortly afterward we started for Eng
land. There we remained until about six months
ago, when we came to the United States to look
after some property in Connecticut which was
SAID TO belong 10 my wife. Sure enough, we found
that in Hartford there was property valued at
$50 600 which my wife had inherited and which
would fall into her sole possession the year she
reached her majority. In the meantime the in
terest ON the property goes TO her." About this
young couple walked away as happy as cooling
